Letters Patent No. 100,393, dated March 1, 1870.`

IMPROVEMENT IN Olll'a-GANS.

The Schedule referred to in` these Letters Patent making part of thesame.

To all 'iL-hom it 'may concern-f I, JOHN D. GRAY, of Oincinnathin thecounty of Hamilton, and State of Ohio, have invented-a` certain Oil-Ganor Reservoir, for theuse of store-keepers i and others, of which thefollowing,r is a specification.

My invention is an improvement in the class of oilreceptacles forsupplying smaller cans or other .ves-

` l adapted to'it down in, and close the mouth of the can, said 4panbeing provided with the customary cover and sink, and with a suitablepump.

Second, the provision in said pan of a stand-pipe,- within which thepumpis screwed.

. Third, the provision in said pump of' a lever instead of a T handle.`i

Fourth, theprovision of aiguille-pin and socket for enabling the pan tobe adjusted accurately in place.

Figure I is a perspective view of a can embodying my improvements, thecover being thrown open.

Figure? is a Vvertical section ofthe' same, with the cover closed.

Figures 3 and 4 show the reservoir and pan-cover detached.

`'Figure-5 shows my pump detached.

A represents the reservoir or body ot my can, the same having an openmouth, which, `when in use, is closed by a circular pini, B, which isdivided into two unequal compartments by a "partition, C, the largercompartment D being open at the top, butY capable of being closed by aboXcover,`E, that is hinged to top of the pan, immediately over thepartition C, and whose lower edge closes down outside the rim'b of thepau.

'F is a hasp upon the cover, which, when the latter is closed, receivesa staple, G, on the body.

In order that the pan, when inserted in the'body, maybe `guided'accurately to its place, so that the hasp shall always coincide with thestaple, Iprovide op the inside of the body an upwardly-projecting pin,H, which enters a conical socket, I, in the bottom ot' the pan.-

Rising from the bottom of the pan, near its center,

is a stand-pipe, J, which is screw-threaded iuteriorly,

`to lreceive the correspondingly screw-,threaded btrrel K, of alever-pump, L.

4The said barrel .K has a customary bib-spout, k,

.and has the suction-pipe M soldered or' otherwise `firmly attached toits lower end.

Underneath the spout k there 1s provided a customary sink, N, in the panbottom, for conducting back into the reservoir the drippings of thevessels.

Bylifting the pan, the interior of the reservoir is vrendered accessiblefor cleaning or otherwise, and the same pan, with its appurtenances of'pump, &c., may

be shifted Vto another reservoir, when desired.

I claim as my inventionl 1. An open-mouthed oil-can or reservoir, A,closed by the removable pan B, in combination withthe screw-threadedstand-pipe J, pump K, and lever L, for the purposes designated.

2. The arrangement of the guide-pin H and the socket I, in the removablepan or 4cover D, as and for the object specified. Y

In testimony of `which invention I hereunto set my hand.

JOHN D. GRAY.
